Nowadays it starts quite early in April and adults, usually the types who claim they can't afford to pay for refuse collection but have 07 Boras in their driveways, take active part. Among the items dumped in a field near my home this year were a washing machine and a cast iron garden set ...plenty of good burning there obviously.
Personnaly I'd round the ****s up and gas them like the rats they are.:mad:
How's that for Green credentials?:cool:
Do car tyres burn?
Would that be on the car or off the car??Quote:

To be honest i never heard of this tradition,the only other time i heard of an organised bonfire in Dublin would be the night everyone went back to school and it was given the incredibly well thought out name of - Back to school bonfire.
Yes, fires all over Cork City last night.
Think it would be a great thing if it was organised.
I hopped in the car and toured Mahon, Glanmire, Little Island and the northside.
The one in Little Island was the only well-organised one.
Had a bbq and stuff. There was war when the fire brigade turned up wanting to put it out.
The rest were messy usually.
Washing machines are not flammable.
Oops, misread the first post. I thought you said tomorrow, referring to today, when instead you said today, referring to yesterday. :DQuote:
